What is a good YouTube CTR?

It depends on niche and traffic source, but many channels treat 4–10% as a practical range. Retention and viewer satisfaction still matter more than CTR alone.

Should YouTube titles include keywords?

Yes, when search intent matters. Put the core keyword naturally near the front, but do not sacrifice curiosity or clarity.

How many title options should I test?

Write at least 10 before choosing one. The first idea is rarely the best because it usually states the topic instead of the promise.
